Perfect example of arty dominanz and BS mechanics (4v4)
Posts: 2243
LM and Calliope are area deny tools. have 4 or more of them and deny every area for endless time, since the first unit cool down is ready, when the last arty unit shoot.
here is a perfect example of the arty-bs:
early game start: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/771341017
some time point with endless arty rain every time: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/771341017?t=1h27m58s
(this game is full of arty rain all the time from the 20min mark)
i killed their arty serveral times...
but their arty isnt the biggest problem itself. its the combination of bazooka /piats bloobs which destroy a panther in mostly one or two volleys.

Best you can do - veto all non-open maps.

to be clear: all arty spam should be nerfed. on axis side too....its not fun anymore.
I agree with this statement.
3v3 and 4v4 are decided by artillery way too much. There is no diversified strategy set anymore, there is only one, maybe two ways to play and everything ends in at least 1-2 arty units per player, turning the whole concept of unit preservation upside down.
Large modes should have been less focused on arty, unfortunately it is too late to change that for CoH2. So the only thing that remains is what others already said: If you don't want arty spam, go 1v1 or 2v2.

I'm gonna change the title to reflect this. PM if you want it changed back.

Adding to this, moving single squads is ineffective > therefore blobbing > therefore artillery.

Well the problem start from the fact that TDs are so effective that make tank disappear in seconds and in large modes so people build artillery instead.
People generally flock to artillery because most maps are overcrowded and laney and tend to favour the defender digging in with a wall of AT, i.e. the perfect scenario for howitzers and rocket artillery and the worst scenario for any regular tank. Blaming the effectiveness of TDs for that is rather far-fetched, because bigger maps like Steppes or General Mud generally see mass tank engagements instead of artillery even though said maps are great for TDs.

Depends on the mode.
In 3vs3 you might see tank fights in open map, in 4vs4 it very probable that you will see artillery play.

Imagine not vetoing Hamburger in 4v4.
But...it's my favourite 4v4 map......

Arti spam is a problem in 3s and 4s, and all factions have the means to contribute to the cancer. You have not experienced true arti hell until when you have played a game where one dude builds nothing but LeFH guns. and his teammates cover for him. their long range means they can stay by the base sector. even with access to IL2 strikes, they can be replaced faster than you can destroy em

When we're at it, i want to bring up the LEFH's counter battery and british version of it (tho less problematic being timed and muni cost), they are still require close to no input and put intense micro tax on opponents.
Ahh yes, the infamous 10% (or something similar) direct hits LEFH CB. Worthless against a Calliope and i’ve yet to meet a decent player whose Sexton/Priests were intimidated by the shells landing around them lol. (2 direct hits for a kill!) I mean sure, when we had Hamburg 4-5 LEFHs even their Priests were getting deleted but come on.
Adv Emp really is just a cheese commander who flails in flames against Incendiary Mortar HTs or Feuersturm.
Against decent players who mine and protect their mobile arty, Axis don’t have much in the way of reliable counters except LEFH.

I veto it as allies, in fact my vetoes are maxed out playing as allies.
Hill 400 gets my vote as the worst map in the game.
As axis 4v4 tends to be a more chilled experience so I rarely veto anything.
Removing counterbattery from the Lefh would be a good start in making arty less braindead, then just mirror the stats of the ML20.

4vs4 is just a stupid fun game mode. It's not balanced in the slightest.
